Entrepreneurial ecosystems and local economy sustainability: institutional actors' views on neo-rural entrepreneurship in low-density Portuguese territories
Summary. Neo-rural entrepreneurs in low-density Portuguese territories drive local economic development and sustainability, according to institutional actors interviewed in this study. The research identifies territorial attractiveness factors and institutional support from municipalities and polytechnic institutes, but also reveals significant entrepreneurial obstacles. Most neo-rural ventures are necessity-driven rather than opportunity-driven, suggesting these entrepreneurs fill economic gaps in declining rural areas.
